He helped start the Aberdeen Tobacco Board of Trade and was a town commissioner when, in 1946, he resigned to run for the House of Representatives. He was elected and nas been reelected by increasing majorities every time since, about half the time with opposition. He has made a point of seeking grassroots support keeping in close touch with the people, and as a result has been extraordin arily successful at reconciling the diverse aims and wishes of a county of many different ele ments. For Underdog He has placed emphasis on education and mental hospitals, and has become known as a fight er for the underdog. With others, he introduced in 1948 the legis lation which established the I North Carolina Alcoholic Reha bilitation program, known as the nation’s most progressive. In 1955 he got through, almost single- handedly, against tough opposi tion, a bill known as the “Blue Bill,’’ prohibiting certain insur ance policy cancellations.

His influence has become great but he uses it sparingly, on be half of the movements and pro jects which seem to him benefi cial to the people and the State as a whole Recognition Recognith of such achieve ments has ten accorded him sev eral times:': a YDC Victory Din ner of the bore County Club in 1948; a sdor party rally held at Souther Pines that summer, with Govcior Kerr Scott giving the testimdal address; and most recently vth the observance of “Cliff BluDay” by the Moore County YC at Carthage last March 23.rovernor Sanford and Secretary 3f State Thad Eure spoke in fe honor on that occa sion.
